Re: ELCAN SpecterDR 1.5x6 for 50BMG ?

Any value to these? </div></div>
"Most likely" if you believe him.
I believe know one, especially lying ass Joe. As a former 11b I can count on 1 finger the amount of "things" given to me.
Maybe I just wasn't high speed low drag enough to get things like this gifted to me. Last time I popped my balloon and went home there was a pretty severe checklist of anything Uncle Sam ever loaned me. Greedy ol dog wanted it all back. This doesn't mean I have never heard of things being lost or going unaccounted for, however those are just fancy motivated phrases for stolen US Government Property.
My vote goes for stolen if they are real.
Otherwise what you are saying is Chuck Norris's hogs tooth wearing, seal trident having, triple tabbed with a coin checked vetted cousin was given $5k worth of prototype optics just because and is allowed to trade/sell them for a profit because his elite delta/team 6 devgru hot spot jumping team doesn't authorize them. Sounds like a major minus to me and definitely a no go at this station.
Call the serial numbers into the Ratheon or ATT their distributer and they should be able to solve that mystery.
If there are no serial numbers then I sit firmly in the fake camp with a foot hanging over into prototypes because of the body style changes.
With all of that BS spewed.... Lets pretend they are real, not stolen and just generally GTG.
$1200-1600 each to the right guy who happens to own a ma deuce or wants to CQB his Barrett 20" (Isnt there a thread about that in the Semi section). This is considering the same vesion in 7.62 sells for $2500. I'm sure the BMG reticle has some cost, but its a limited market.
Again, good luck because of the above reason I have made light of. If I was in the market there are just too many un-answered questions for me to shell out that kind of dough.
